Cambodia is known for many things, we enjoyed it thoroughly. However some of our best experiences came from visiting the huge, breathtaking ancient temples just north of Siem Reap.
One of the most famous temples is Angkor, known to be (as mentioned on Wikipedia) the largest religious monument in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Come join us as we explore this enormous temple, absorb it's spiritual energy and admire the amazing architecture and artwork.

Where does Khmer come from?
Calling the ancient Khom (Varaman) Khmer does not look right because the ancient Khom is the end of the name because the Khmer people ( Mr. Sweet Melon), the slave chief who led the rebellion, killed some of their bosses and set themselves up as kings. For a long time, it was absurd to take over the temple city of Khmer slaves who could not find any reason and result at all to deceive each other in order to dispel the fact that they were the bloodline of slaves and the Khmer people could not give any reasonable answer. This is not possible at all.
- Why did slaves become kings?
- Why did the Khmer dynasty disappear from history?
Why did Lavo, the creator of Ayothaya, who was a relative or ally of Nakhon Wat, who had never fought a war, when the slaves rebelled and killed Khom Woraman Lavo, Ayothaya immediately began to raise an army to attack Nakhon Wat.
After slavery a man called Sweet Melon became king, and Nakhon Wat progressed to the point of collapse. Then the Khmer people could not build or repair the stone castle again. Culture declined and compared to the contemporary kingdom after Nakhon Wat "Ayothaya and the neighborhood" and Ayothaya has great buildings with high art. Each neighborhood is almost no different from the forest people hiding in a bamboo fence without any buildings comparable to Nakhon Wat. For hundreds of years, the Khmer people have been weak and defeated.

Amazing place, amazing temple! I've visited several times and never tired of seeing so much wonder, maybe due to its mystical beauty and charms in the middle of lush green nature.
According to a legend, the son of the god Indra, went once on a visit to his father. There was a heavenly barn he likes so much that he decided to build on the ground too. It turns out that Angkor Wat is a copy of the heavenly barn god Indra :)
